Working with Children & Teens:

Child & Teen Therapy in person in Burlingame or virtually

I have worked with children and teens for many years and I love it! At Bay Area Family Counseling in Burlingame, we work to build coping skills, confidence and emotional resilience.

If your child or teen is overwhelmed by school pressure, social anxiety, or constant worry, therapy can help. Children often express stress through behavior, worries, or emotional outbursts. Therapy gives young people the tools to understand and manage their feelings.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, we work together to address current challenges and explore practical solutions, focusing on questions like “What could I do differently?” to improve relationships and overall well-being.

For kids and especially teens, having a neutral space to express their feelings is crucial. They often need someone who is impartial and not emotionally involved in the outcomes of their decisions. While parents want to provide this space, it can be difficult to balance the roles of a supportive adult and a parent. That’s where I come in. I offer a calm, non-judgmental environment where clients can speak openly and feel at ease—helping them feel comfortable and heard.
